• When can I start respiratory therapy for my COPD?

I am a COPD patient and I just got discharged from the hospital. I have a CPAP machine at home but I also want to have respiratory therapy. When should I start?

Always refer to your doctor, a  pulmonologist is best. Your symptom and tests will determine your need for extra treatment, you only want to use it as needed. I would also suggest a doctor that does not hesitate to improve your diet and herbs to increase or reverse your condition.
